Sunrise

I have wrote and dedicated this song to my wife and soul partner Diane (she said she would divorce me if i didn't ha ha only kidding). We have been married for 36 years and been together for 40 years. We did indeed meet when we were teens as the song goes. We went to the same school and lived in the same street, she has stuck with me through thick and thin and shared the highs and lows and continues to do so, we have raised two kids who are now grown up and have three lovely grandchildren. We have  our ups and downs like everybody else but i wouldn't swap her for the world as she is and always will be my "Shining Light".

I hope you enjoy the song.

Verse 1

We met when we were teens you looked real cool in jeans
We strolled hand in hand our thoughts in a distant land.  
Your love it gave me a  spark a lightening bolt to the heart
A glow from deep inside got brighter.
Unseen magic weaved it's spell emotions a bottomless well
Love has drawn us together a sunny day makes perfect weather. 
                                             
Chorus 1

Shining light my desire 
Shining hearts are on fire.
Shining light keep on burning
Shining light I keep yearning
Shining light I keep yearning.

Verse 2

Aching teenage hearts within
Both in a heavenly spin 
Into loving laughter life's new chapter.
Two souls together entwined
One heartbeat a single mind.
No stronger love to find
This loves the lasting kind.

Chorus 2

Loves beacon in the night
You are my shining light.
Shining in the dark
Guiding me to your heart 
Guiding me to your heart.

Bridge

I never wanna lose you
You'll always be mine.
I'll hold you close like a heavenly shrine
Your precious to me like a priceless stone.
My  treasure... my love. 

Verse 3

We met when we were teens you looked real cool in jeans
We strolled hand in hand our thoughts in a distant land.  
Your love it gave me a  spark a lightening bolt to the heart
A glow from deep inside got brighter.
Unseen magic weaved it's spell emotions a bottomless well
Love has drawn us together a sunny day makes perfect weather. 

Chorus 3

Shining light my desire 
Shining hearts are on fire
Shining light keep on burning
Shining light I keep yearning

Falling Leaf.

From dark winters frozen grip  
Into natures warming caress.
Branches reach out as if to protest
Waiting to open natures treasure chest.


Woods and forests of bracken and shrub 
sprout green shoots from the bud.
A glorious sight to behold
Natures gift sprung from earths mold.

The season of spring has arrived 
To give life to every bee hive.
From bare branches of gnarled old bark
Produce green shoots in every park.
Natures gift of life races on
To clothe trees with a leafy yarn.


Rich tones of every green, 
Befitting for royalty and queen.
Like velvet gloves reaching high
Outstretched to the sky. 
Absorbing every ray of light
Just like an anchored Kite.

Shafts of sunlight shining down
making shadows of a leafy crown.
Silently moving in the breeze
Natures lungs to clean earths wheeze.
Alas seasons change and Autumn is hear again
The winds blow hard with no refrain.

Green turns to rich ambers and gold
Another cycle, nature has taken hold.
From the branches high above
Falling like worn out love.
A steady stream does descend
As if there will be no end.

Over time the tree is bare
Only one leaf suspended in the air.
A gentle breeze comes along
And cups it up like a perfect song.
Carried slowly down to earth,
It's a never ending cycle 
Natures re-birth.

Falling Leaf (Acoustic ambient).

Go make a cup of tea and enjoy a Mello "D".

Mello "D"

My workmate "Big Baz" came up with this title for a song, all i had to do was create it, the rest is history. I hope that you enjoy it best wishes.
I wrote this song as a protest to the power of corporate greed in the farming industry, the quality of food that is grown has mostly been taken away from honest hard working farmers. Who are having to comply with greedy corporate companies, who are forcing their genetically modified seeds on to them, causing hardship for the farmer as the companies are patenting their own seeds and forcing farmers to buy and sow them. These GMO crops are a danger to human health( ahem better get off my soapbox now!!!)  http://www.nongmoproject.org/learn-more/

Seeds Of Shame

Verse 1

Gmo seeds will play
With our health in a stealthy way.
Force fed lies to disguise
Evil seeds from prying eyes.
Modified for our taste
Profits for life is human waste.

Chorus 1

Seeds of shame you are to blame
Ruining life it ain't no game.
Seeds of shame give us back our health
Throw those seeds out with your wealth.
Seeds of shame take your Gmo n
Shove them where the cold wind blows.
Seeds of shame take your Gmo n
Shove them where the cold wind blows.

Verse 2

Honest farmers you've been attacked
Tied your hands behind your back.
Evil seeds you have to plant
Ain't no real seeds in the bank.
Gmo no way to go 
But you face a deadly foe.

Bridge

Corporate greed its an evil seed
A sown in crop to make us bleed. 
Ain't no goodness just hollow weed
An empty shell that cannot feed.
Corporate greed its an evil seed
Corporate greed its an evil seed



Chorus 2

Seeds of shame give us back our health
Throw your seeds up on a shelf.
Seeds of shame your time is up
You have had your final cut.
Seeds of shame take your Gmo n
Shove them where the cold wind blows.
Seeds of shame take your Gmo n
Shove them where the cold wind blows.

Verse 3

Open your eyes to see corruption
A real health scare a deadly eruption.
Money and profits ain't no scream
It's all about raking off the cream.
Swing the axe upon this crop
Evil seeds will wilt and rot.

Chorus 3

Seeds of shame we hope you rot
burry you in satan's plot.
Seeds of shame it's an evil game
Playing around with natures way.
Seeds of shame take your Gmo n
Shove them where the cold wind blows.
Seeds of shame take your Gmo n
Shove them where the cold wind blows.

Circle Of Life Lyrics.

Verse 1
Born from a sacred womb you take flight
Start life's journey all pure and bright
Life's blueprint a guiding light
Your first chapter to ignite.

Chorus 1

Circle of life from light till dark
A journey from a spark.
Circle of life it's natures game
Circle of life it's a burning flame

Verse 2
Friends acquired from an early age
Share life's story a living page.
Onto education your vocation
A strong generation a new nation.

.

Bridge

Spread your wings like a heavenly lark
Take flight and leave your mark.
Find your way on life's own chart.
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh 
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh.

Chorus 2

Circle of life your moving on
Sailing like a majestic swan.
Circle of life it's natures game
Circle of life it's a burning flame

Verse 3

Two hearts do make one whole
Bound together as one soul.
Spark of life  again ignites
To create pure bright lights.


Chorus 3 

X 2 

Circle of life your work is done
A new light a burning sun.
Circle of life it's natures game
Circle of life it's a burning flame.

Early Morning Sunshine (Groove) Instrumental

Original song composed and performed by Davide Augusto De Giorgi.

Lyrics:

My destination is far but I know where I'm going
Coloring days with new vibes every night and each morning
Is there a chance I will see you again for a moment?
If you will join me, a unity truth will be glowing.

Sometimes I'm sure there's a way for the world to get better
Sometimes I lose all my strength but I'll try hard forever  
And every step is so small but it's carving my true dream
And I keep looking for meaning and light in this life beam. 

Will I let you go?
Will we walk side by side?
I'll wait for your love.
Will we ever fly?

Will any word, sound, emotion or action change something?
My mortal life might be vain but my soul is not crumbling.
Trusting my heart, every time that I falter, will I fail?
Faith's in my ship through each task on the waters that I sail.

Will I let you go?
Will we walk side by side?
I'll wait for your love.
Will we ever fly?

Is féidir aon duine a thuiscint mo stoirm gan mo ciúnas, 
Dá bhrí sin léimeann mo long síos agus suas                
Is féidir aon duine a fhios mo shamhlaíocht is mo thuras, 
o, ach is féidir mo long seol ar gach amhras           

Will I let you go?
Will we walk side by side?
I'll wait for your love
Will we ever fly?
 
And then I'll know if my pain was worth it
I really hope that it wasn't wasted
And if you should never come back to me
after we die will I see you in heaven?

Ship Of Aporia And Noumena

Wouldn't it be great if we could leave our troubles behind and move on with life at a trouble-free pace? Well, that was the idea behind this song, to be able to climb aboard the mystical cool train and leave your troubles on the platform to make a round trip to return home trouble-free and refreshed!

A great concept, hey music is all about escapism so just let your mind free and imagine the concept.  The song has a mix of styles a bit of blues/rock/techno vibe, I hope that you enjoy the song, i would have had this song completed earlier but I ran into probs after purchasing Amplitube 4. It's a fantastic guitar plugin but my laptop let me down with CPU deficiency. But I got there in the end with some Ableton/AmpliTube compromise with regards to amp selection, i will have to invest in some extra RAM at some stage to run Amplitube for future projects, but never mind i hope that you enjoy the song, best wishes to all you SC listeners and creative producers.

Cool Train

Verse 1

Sometimes life can pull you down
You drag yourself out'a bed put on your dressing gown.
Ain't no colour in your life it all looks kinda brown 
You find yourself window shopping in this grey old town.
On a shelf behind the glass a message lifts your frown
Climb aboard and have a ball the cool trains coming to town.

Chorus 1

Climb upon the cool train
And drink in life's champagne
You'll never feel cold rain
When your on the cool train.
So climb upon the cool train 
Brush away your pain.
Climb upon the cool train 
Get higher than cocaine.
The cool trains come to town
Yeah the cool trains come to town.
The cool trains come to town
Yeah the cool trains come to town

Verse 2

The daily grind the old routine
It's like a bad trip on Halloween.
You need uplifting into flight
To soar above this awful plight. 
Time goes by you try to fight
Out of the dark and into the light.
Your going crazy going insane 
Change your life break the chain
Get your ticket for the cool train. 

Bridge

Would passengers please board
the cool train.
Leave your troubles on the platform
and enjoy your journey.
Thank you.

Climb upon the cool train
Wash away your pain.
Climb upon the cool train
Wash away your pain.
Climb upon the cool train
Wash away your pain.

	
Chorus 2

Climb upon the cool train
You'll never go insane.
Ain't no need to complain
When your on the cool train.
So climb upon this cool train
Drink in life's champagne.
Climb upon this cool train
It's a real cool campaign.
The cool trains coming to town
Yeah the cool trains coming to town.

Verse 3


Life's dragging you down it's a heavy load
A ticking time bomb ready to  explode.
Pick me up and throw me a line
I really need a positive sign.
My life needs to realign
To make me feel fine.
Change my life n break the chain
I'm heading along to that cool train.

    .

Chorus 3

Climb upon this cool train
It's sweet like sugar cane.
Ain't no worries on this track
It's a real groovy shack.
So climb upon this cool train
Drink in life's champagne.
Climb aboard this cool train
Drink in life's champagne
The cool trains coming to town
Yeah the cool trains coming to town.
The cool trains coming to town
Yeah the cool trains coming to town.

Hello! I am a self-taught guitarist playing for 10 years now and have made several original songs that I am currently recording and would like to share with you!... although I am sure I will record some covers as well. I have played in a band for a couple of years but things get busy in the real world so I started making songs on my own. Guitar is my greatest passion especially when it comes to making original songs so I hope you enjoy! Please feel free to comment and make any requests of songs you would like me to cover. Appreciate the support!

Bands/guitarists I am interested/influenced by that I will probably do covers for: 
- Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, Eagles, Coldplay, Carlos Santana, Eric Clapton, ACDC, Lynyrd Skynrd, Led Zeppelin, John Butler Trio, Iron Maiden, Metallica (I am sure I could think of more but these are the ones that come to mind)
